Veteran ABC news- woman Barbara Walters has fallen at an inauguration party at an ambassador’s home in Washington and has been hospitalized.

Walters, 83, fell Saturday night on a step at the home of Britain’s ambassador to the U.S., Peter Westmacott, ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said.

The fall left Walters with a cut on her forehead, he said.

As a precaution, Walters went to a hospital for treatment of the cut and for a full examination, Schneider said Sunday. She was alert and “telling everyone what to do, which we all take as a very positive sign,” he said.

It was unclear when Walters might be released from the hospital, which ABC didn’t identify.
